the Dean correspondence is franked with the famous Spartanburg Postmasters' Provisional adhesive. Is this a Postmasters' Provisional or a clerk who forgot to add the postmark?
Spartanburg, South Carolina, derives its name from the "Spartan
Rifles", a militia group that served during the Revolutionary War. This name was later adopted by Confederate soldiers from Spartanburg during the Civil War.
Joseph Walker was appointed captain of the Spartan Rifles on April 13, 1861. Micah
Jenkins, from Yorkville, South Carolina, was mustered into service as colonel of the 5th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiment in June 1861.
